Green Tea Benefits

Does green tea support longevity?

Regular green tea consumption is associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and longer lifespan.

Explanation

Green tea is rich in catechins, especially EGCG, which are powerful antioxidants. Population studies in Japan and China show habitual green tea drinkers live longer. EGCG activates AMPK, promoting fat oxidation and mimicking some effects of calorie restriction.

Practical Emphasis

Aim for 2–4 cups of green tea daily, brewed traditionally rather than sweetened or bottled.

Action Tip

Drink 2–4 cups of green tea daily to harness cardiovascular and metabolic benefits.
